Travel Dreams: If I Went to Amsterdam...

...I'd stay here. The Dylan Hotel in Amsterdam looks like a nice little place to lay your head while touring this bustling city on a bicycle. I visited Amsterdam for a few days in Summer 2005 with girlfriends, and we forfeited much of our adventure to jet-lag being it was our first stop in Europe.

If I go back, I'd love to stay at a swanky place like the Dylan, sip cocktails in the ivy clad courtyard, and hop a bicycle and trek the city to its fullest.

    Hopefully I'll be headed back to Amsterdam for a few days this summer, though I seriously doubt I'll be lucky enough to be swanking it up in a luxury hotel... Oh, well.

    Those pictures are all real. I couldn't believe it. Click on the word "wild" on my post and it will link you to the source that describes these places :)

    Love your pictures of Amsterdam by the way. It really is a wonderful and eye opening place to visit =)

    Hey!

    I went to Amsterdam a few years ago and loved it, there is a kind of freedom in the air in this place! When I come back, I'll try with this hotel that seems awesome!

    I have a post about Amsterdam on my blog www.vuelo-directo.blogspot.com. in case you want to visit it.

    By the way I must say I like your blog very much and come by really often.

    Greetings from Spain!

    I'd sleep on a park bench if I could do so in Amsterdam. I've always wanted to go there. Someday. *sigh*

    That hotel looks pretty sweet. My husband and I went there for a stopover in the winter once - I would love to see it in the summer.
